Jim Arnosky's "I'm a Turkey!"
The children will be turning their notes into an expository/informative piece about turkeys. We wrote an introductory paragraph together. Next, the children will begin the body of their pieces. Each piece will have a paragraph about the appearance of turkeys, a paragraph about what turkeys eat, and a paragraph with surprising facts. We'll work together as a class to write a concluding paragraph.
In math, we've just finished up a unit on addition and subtraction with regrouping. We'll be starting our multiplication unit next.
